To me it's a big difference. The cheap smushed up stuff is just that,
cheap smushed up "stuff". It has a lousy texture, seems invariably to not
be all white tuna, and is excessively juicy, leaving less actual tuna after
draining. The solid white has a nice firm texture that can be flaked to
any desirable size, has a better flavor, and there's a lot more tuna after
draining.
